> " /genode/repos/base-hw/include/spec/imx53/drivers/trustzone.h " . In this file I found the NONSECURE_MEMORY_SIZE = 256*1024*1024. So I increase this size to 512*1024*1024, however, when the system booting, it print the error message like:

just increasing the value of the memory size for the non-secure memory
is not sufficient here. The physical memory of the i.MX53 QSB is not
continous. It has 256 MiB starting at 0x70000000 and 256 MiB starting
at 0xb0000000. For our experiments with ARM TrustZone we started on
another platform with continous physical memory, and for ease of
implementation of the VMM example we kept that assumption. Therefore,
we are using just half of the memory on i.MX53 in the TrustZone
example.

If you want to use both regions, you will have to change the Ram class
in and Vm_base class in repos/os/src/server/tz_vmm/include to accept
more than one region, and handle the virtual to physical translations
in the VMM accordingly. Moreover, the additional memory area has to be
added to the ATAG in repos/os/src/server/tz_vmm/spec/imx53_qsb/vm.cc.
